A dozen Aegis Living employees were rewarded for their hard work and loyalty in a lottery held September 15 in Redmond, including Rolando Tan, a maintenance assistant at Aegis of Shoreline.

Redmond-based Aegis Living, which operates 30 assisted-living communities in Washington, California and Nevada, found a unique way to thank its workers across the Western United States.

Aegis Living gave away $50,000 in cash rewards to lucky long-term employees. Aegis Living CEO and founder says. "We wanted to do something that is fun and also shows how much we value loyalty. Plus, this could really help an Aegis Living worker's family."

Aegis Living employees had to be employed with the company for a minimum of three full years as of July 31, 2015 to be eligible. The longer employees had been employed the more chances they had to win. The number of continuous years an employee had worked for Aegis Living increased their chances of winning. An employee qualified and got one lottery ticket if he / she has worked at Aegis Living for three years. Tickets increased up to five for employees with ten years' experience.

Rolando, a maintenance assistant at Aegis of Shoreline, won $1,000 in the Aegis Living Dream Big Employee Lottery. Rolando is planning to send the $1,000 back home to his children in the Philippines.

Aegis Living has been honored as "Best Place to Work" by KING 5's Evening Magazine, and by Puget Sound Business Journal, and Seattle Business Magazine. Glassdoor, the online employee job and management review site, gives Aegis Living 4.5 out of 5 stars.
